hello Foozi,
I'm not sure about the big black letters, and the photo could be a touch sharper, but those are actually minor points - I like this photo a lot. the upward looking point of view with strong lines and fascinating patterns work well to create a futuristic and abstract image. the clock is a nice accent, this is very well seen and presented.

it is a vice view , I like these shapes and colors, light is perfect to show them. I would like to cut something in the lower area concentrating attention in the top I guess more interesting. anyway it is a nice job
